With just a small can of spray paint!! Ha..cheap and quick and great results. I have a lot of red items that I don't really like so I painted them a soft beachy blue and I love it...and the change is fantastic. I painted a clock, one large tin star and a small picture frame. It has made the room look more pulled together and more us!!

For $3.99, I like quick fixes...

Instant results are so wonderful. Last year my kids spray painted my hideous kitchen chairs a nice shiny red. So much more tolerable...

Do you live around the Hill Country in Texas? My youngest sister lives in Kerrville, Texas. What a beautiful area. She has the tin stars all around her house, on the house, the garden, etc... So nice looking.

Yes, I do. I am right smack between Austin and San Antonio, 10 miles south of San Marcos. I love it here. I need to go explore more. If you have ever been to Schlitterbahns, then you are about 2 miles from where I live.
